Chapter 186: One and Three
As the so-called female eldest does not stay, in Yingyue from time to time to help the first emperor who deals with government affairs, under the hint of pinching his shoulders and hammering his back, the holy decree of marriage finally arrived in Lijiazhuang. In the eyes of this Great Qin Xungui, Li Chen is completely a winner in life who is suffering and happy.
Some people may want to ask, why is this life winner the life winner, why is it painful and happy. You must know that Daqin's concubine is not the same as the concubine of later generations, in order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, concubines cannot be officials, although they have no worries about food and clothing, they are only slaves raised by princesses. But Daqin is different, after marrying the princess, the princess can go out of the palace to live, and this concubine can also hold a real official position. Li Si's son Li Youbian married Yingyue's sister, and now he is also a real power person in the Xianyang Forbidden Army.
Marrying a princess is a blessing that all men dream of in Daqin. Ying Yue is the first emperor's favorite daughter, not one of them. But there are not many men who want to marry Yingyue, because the bloody facts tell them that if they want to marry Yingyue, they must first have one characteristic, that is, you have to resist beating, especially the kind that resists beating.
As the saying goes, the brine points to the tofu and drops one thing. As the name suggests, the white brine drops on the large white tofu, and the tofu is soft. This ancient man is honest and does not deceive me, and women are the same, winning the moon like a tiger in front of others, and like a kitten in front of Li Chen.
After this decree of marriage, Li Chen's mood improved. I've been thinking about it for so long, and I finally have a skimming of the eight characters, and now I have to draw out that one, and I poke that one vertically into it, and this word is written out.
This marriage made Li Chen happy for a few days, and then he began to worry again. The case of the loss of the copper mine has not progressed. Chen Ping searched for clues day and night with Tianting, but the copper mine seemed to have evaporated from the world.
An entire mine of copper can be forged into weapons to arm a full 50,000 soldiers. In this era, the people who could eat and drink were sheep, and the government was the shepherds. But once the people are not fed and clothed, then these weapons will make the people hungry wolves, and the wolves will eat the shepherds.
"Master Hou, we should check the waterway, if so many copper mines go from the land, it is impossible not to leave a single clue." Chen Ping said.
"Let Zhao Que investigate." Li Chen said. He still listened to Chen Ping's opinion, after all, there was still a gap between his family and such top strategists.
The more Li Chen investigated this case, the more depressed he became, and the more he investigated, the more he felt that his IQ seemed to be trampled on the ground by the opponent hiding in the shadows, rubbed and rubbed. I found out so far, I don't even know who the opponent is, how can this make people not in a hurry. I just hate that Daqin doesn't have monitoring, if there is monitoring, where can it be so troublesome as now.
Xianyang City, Afang Palace
Li Chen was sleeping groggily today, so he was called to the morning court again. Today's topic is that the autumn harvest is imminent, the domestic granary is still full, and what should be done with the new grain.
"Your Majesty, as the so-called family has food, don't panic. The minister thought that he should build a granary and continue to store the grain. ”
This person who spoke was the lord of the household, and the people of the household needless to say, the average miser per capita. Anyway, as long as you get into the things of his household, it will be difficult for you to want it. The past two years have been the most generous two years for the household, and the domestic granary is full of confidence for their household.
"Reconsideration."
"Reconsideration."
As soon as the man's voice fell, the misers of the household looked at each other and said in unison.
"The grain in your household is moldy, what can you do in the storehouse, in my opinion, you should continue the overhaul project. What does Rong Luhou say, to get rich and build more roads. I think that food should be used closely by our Ministry of Industry, and only by building up the infrastructure of our Daqin can our Daqin develop rapidly. In Rong Luhou's words, it is from an agricultural society to an industrial society. ”
The person who spoke was an infrastructure madman from the Ministry of Industry. This Lijiazhuang is a group photo unit of the Ministry of Industry, under the influence of science and technology of Lijiazhuang Damo Academy, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are all Rong Lu Hou Li Chen's little fan brother, and every sentence Li Chen said is remembered by the people of the Ministry of Industry.
"Reconsideration."
"Reconsideration."
The people from the Ministry of Industry chimed in.
"If you want to see it, it's better to use it for war, these grains and grass can't even be used to lay down a river loop."
A general in armor said.
"You, shut up."
"This is a civilian business, what does it have to do with you military attachés."
The people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household shouted in unison, these martial artists know how to fight, and Daqin is just a little more stable.
Li Chen watched this group of people tear up with relish, which is much more interesting than the TV series in his previous life.
"Li Chen, do you have an opinion?" The First Emperor suddenly asked.
When the officials of the Ministry of Industry saw that the First Emperor asked like Li Chen, their hearts were suddenly happy, this person was their own person, and they must be facing the Ministry of Industry.
"Forget about the war, Baiyue is still fighting, the Hetao has finally been stable for a while, and the military action with foreign countries must be suspended." Li Chen first vetoed the argument of continuing to open up the battlefield, first, this battle is not only a matter of food and grass, but also needs soldiers. Although today's Daqin has plenty of food and grass, its population is already stretched. Road construction, mining, and the upcoming autumn harvest are also important, and population has become the biggest factor restricting the development of Daqin. Second, before the internal stability of Great Qin, it is really not beneficial to open up a battlefield externally and fight on multiple fronts.
"The idea of the Ministry of Industry is good, but the biggest problem is people, Your Majesty, it is difficult to hire young and strong labor in the bidding sections contracted by the major chambers of commerce. The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and even if we are contracting for a new infrastructure bid and cannot hire young and strong labor, it will be difficult to carry out the project. Li Chen then vetoed the proposal of the Ministry of Industry.
"Your Majesty, when the new grain comes down, it is better to sell the old grain to the rich merchants. This grain will become moldy in the storehouse of the household, but this gold and silver will not. Li Chen said.
"No, if Your Majesty sells grain to merchants. There must be no market for these grains in the country, so they can only be sold to other races. The people of the household department objected.
"This lord knows why the grassland people attack my people of Great Qin every winter. It is because the cattle and sheep on the grassland cannot grow fat in winter, and there is a lack of food. The merchants sold their grain at a high price, and they got the grain and grass, and the people bordering the steppe were spared from raiding, and we got the same cattle and sheep, and even horses, which were scarce. ”
"We give one, but we get three. The interracial gave three and only got one. In the long run, conquering the grasslands does not necessarily require knives and guns. Li Chen said slowly.
"Aiqing's words seem to be very profound, can you elaborate on them?" The First Emperor asked.
"I call it a trade war, and it gives me three years to conquer the steppes without a single sword. It's just that above this court, there are many people, and I will talk to Your Majesty after retiring from the court. Li Chen said.
